Is it reasonable to charge the secondary water supply fee for the property?

The contract responsibility system refers to the way that the owner pays a fixed property service fee to the property management enterprise, and the property management enterprise enjoys or bears the surplus or loss.

For the charging system of property service, the property service expenditure received in advance belongs to escrow nature and is owned by the paying owners, and the property management enterprise shall not use it for expenses other than those stipulated in the property service contract. The property management enterprise shall announce the annual budget and final accounts of the property service funds to the owners' assembly or all owners, and announce the income and expenditure of the property service funds at least once a year. When the owners or the owners' congress raise questions about the annual budget and final accounts of the property service funds and the income and expenditure of the property service funds, the property management enterprise shall reply in time.
